Your cleverness, one of a kind again, seen & rewarded with this, your poetry, that, though, can be true, unless there is some new pill or spring water to keep us going after 100, or maybe it's just your poetry, to keeps us all laughing; the best medicine around..to keep us on the up & up..

Loved that one Bill. What a fun poem in so few words. It made me chuckle, cause it is so true, but somehow funny at the same time. :-)

This totally deserves the prize. Great job. I have found that many people change their definition of old age to make sure it is always just around the corner.

I'm glad you won this contest. I'm surprised this isn't rated a 6. I'm sure there are experts who can tell me why, but experts seem to love their own thoughts. This was truly an intelligent write in one of my favorite smiles. I will remember this poem. Congratulations. Although I didn't read the other entries, you are deserving.

    I meant favorite 'styles'. Hate when I mess up such a perfectly worded review:) Words!

    Being the receiver of your great review, I much prefer the word "smiles" over "styles". Take care my friend. Bill

Congratulations on your contest win! I can clearly see why your senryu was chosen. You are so right with so few words and bit a humour as well!

Hold on... I've just choked on my coffee. A very worthy winner of the contest. Love the instant imagery on not so subtle humour.

Best wishes,

Laurie

I'm just finding out what a senryu is, so I feel a little strange critiquing someone who clearly does. But I do know that I like this rather humorous work, and this one speaks the truth it can't be denied. You have a good entry and you have used very good judgment in pairing it with this picture. Good luck!
